+ Setup a chain of video filters. This consists on the filter name, and an

+ ``:`` (not ``,``, as that starts a new filter entry).
+
+ Before the filter name, a label can be specified with ``@name:``, where
+ name is an arbitrary user-given name, which identifies the filter. This
+ is only needed if you want to toggle the filter at runtime.
+
+ A ``!`` before the filter name means the filter is enabled by default. It
+ will be skipped on filter creation. This is also useful for runtime filter
+ toggling.
+
+ See the ``vf`` command (and ``toggle`` sub-command) for further explanations
+ and examples.
+
+ The general filter entry syntax is:
+
+ ``["@"<label-name>":"] ["!"] <filter-name> [ "=" <filter-parameter-list> ]``
+
+ and the ``filter-parameter-list``:
+
+ ``<filter-parameter> | <filter-parameter> "," <filter-parameter-list>``
+
+ and ``filter-parameter``:
+
+ ``( <param-name> "=" <param-value> ) | <param-value>``
+
+ ``param-value`` can further be quoted in ``[`` / ``]`` in case the value
+ contains characters like ``,`` or ``=``. This is used in particular with
+ the ``lavfi`` filter, which uses a very similar syntax as mpv (MPlayer
+ historically) to specify filters and their parameters.
You can also set defaults for each filter. The defaults are applied before the
normal filter parameters.
